Mercedes-Benz might eliminate Maybach brand

If you have more money than people earn in a lifetime, then you can certainly afford to be picky about the cars you drive, or more exactly, are driven in. For many rich people, Mercedes-Benz’s Maybach brand has been a prime target, with its 57 and 62 models.

But if the recent economic recession hasn’t thinned out your wallets, then you may want to purchase that new Maybach soon, as the boss of Mercedes, Dieter Zetsche, has revealed during the Frankfurt Motor Show that the luxury brand might soon face the cutting block. This is largely due to the fact that there aren’t many rich people buying cars these days, and that the few who are, have more discrete taste and don’t want something as opulent or as flashy as a Maybach.

Don’t forget though that the 57 and 62 have been around for quite some time and a new generation for both of them still hasn’t been confirmed or denied by Mercedes. Hopefully though, such a prestigious brand will live on, if not by being still in production maybe by its models becoming exclusive collectibles.
